'White Widow,' Suspect in Kenya Mall Massacre, Has Red Notice Out

Interpol has issued an international red notice for the White Widow, whom officials speculate was involved in the Kenya mall massacre that began last weekend and left at least 62 people dead.

Samantha Lewthwaite earned the "White Widow" nickname after her husband, suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay, killed 26 people when he blew up a London subway train in a 2005 coordinated terror attack. Lewthwaite, 29, has been on the run ever since.

Now, Interpol has issued a red notice to alert law enforcement agencies around the world that she is wanted. A red notice is not an arrest warrant, CNN noted.

"By requesting an Interpol Red Notice, Kenya has activated a global 'tripwire' for this fugitive," Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble told CNN. "Through the Interpol Red Notice, Kenyan authorities have ensured that all 190 member countries are aware of the danger posed by this woman, not just across the region but also worldwide."
